Studying Development and Anthropology
I’m an experienced facilitator - previously working to develop and present a program based on consent and gender discrimination to teens. Working at Spark has given me the unique opportunity to integrate my passion for learning through play into my experience as a facilitator.

More About Melissa:
​
I am student of both the classroom and of life. I have always been fascinated by people and the need for community. At university I study Anthropology and Community Development with the goal of learning all about how we form and interact within “community”. As a young person I was fortunate to have a strong connection to community, led by some incredible mentors. As a young adult, I want to pay forward the mentorship I received as a young person by role modelling and facilitating spaces for community to thrive.
​
Outside of work and uni, I’m a competitive cheerleader with two titles under my belt. I also love the ocean and diving and currently have a brand new swag that I can’t wait to get filthy!
